I have just installed 8GBs of OCZ HPC Reaper PC2-8500 memory on my XP x64 based machine.

It seems that whenever I use over 4GBs of memory, the system encounters weird errors; the screen will often go grey with a mouse pointer or complain. The sticks are NOT overclocked, and the system is stable (tested with Orthos).

I have tried the sticks individually and they work fine in each slot.

I tested it simply by opening lots of browser windows - could this be the reason and if so, is there a more reasonable way of testing all 8GBs?
